We make adaptive swimwear for women who have physical conditions that make it hard to put clothing on. Conditions that affect muscles and joints such as Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, back problems, injuries from sports, falls, and overuse can make bending, turning, and pulling very difficult. We started with a swimsuit because doctors are recommending water exercise for man of these conditions.

We think about how you will move your hands, arms, legs, back, and shoulders as you put your swimsuit on, move in the water, and take your wet suit off. We think about dexterity, flexibility, and strength and don’t use buttons, zippers or velcro-type closures. Our goal is to make swimsuits that are easy to put on and a pleasure to wear.

Both! The Ease In2 swimsuit’s two-sided design provides the look, coverage, and support of the traditional one-piece swimsuit, but is much easier to put on. Instead of a top and a bottom like a tankini, it is made of two vertical half-suits. It doesn’t matter which half you put on first, the second half slides easily on top of the first.

Each half suit has one shoulder strap and two leg openings. Select one half-suit and put your legs into the leg openings as if you were putting on an ordinary one-piece suit. One leg opening is larger than the other to give you more room. You will see only the regular, moderate leg openings when you have the whole suit on. Slide the shoulder strap up and you will see that there is no fabric on your other side, so no need to twist or pull to put your arm through the strap. Repeat with the other half suit, slipping it easily up over the first.

A fabric tie is attached at the bra cup on each side. If you would like more support from the bra, tying the sides together will help. But if you care more about freedom of movement, don’t tie them. In months of testing no one has ever popped out of the suit. Some customers just tuck the ties under and forget about them.

Look in the mirror! You will see yourself in a beautiful, cross-over or “surplice” style swimsuit with moderate leg coverage. The surplice style is slenderizing and comfortable.

No, it does not matter which side is underneath, so try it both ways (with left side on top or right side on top) to see which is easier for you to put on and looks best on you. If you have an injury or painful joint on one side, protect it by putting that side on first.

Each half-suit has two leg openings and one shoulder strap. We made the leg opening on the shoulder strap side larger for two reasons. First, it gives you more room to slide your leg through, with a little less bend to your knee. Second, it reduces the amount of fabric you pull up which means less “pull” on your hands and wrist. The regular size leg opening on the other side of the half suit also doesn’t “pull” because there is no shoulder strap on that side and the fabric comes only to your waist.

Elastic running under the breast is attached to a panel at the side of the suit with soft foam cups in the fabric above the elastic. These cups are tacked in place at the bottom so they don't get twisted up. Each half-suit has a matching fabric tie at the crossover point. Tying these provides additional support and coverage.

In order to optimize bra support and a sense of security, we have put at least one tie on every suit. The Plus sizes have two ties. The suit functions well without the tie - so, it is up to you. Use one or both or neither - simply cut it off if you don't want to use it.

Everyone's body is different, and the design of our suits work for most, but not all. If the leg holes are a bit too generous for you, either try one size lower or the suit may be altered by a seamstress. We have had a number of customers who love the concept, but just couldn't get a perfect fit. After altering the suits to their needs, they are quite happy with the swimsuit.

There are two things to try if the top is a bit too generous. First, the bra cups are tacked in with just 3 stitches, so they are easily removed. The suit can be worn without bra cups. Second, the straps may be shortened by a seamstress, which will help as well.

If the top is too small, the best thing to do is try one size larger.

Yes, the Ease In2 suit is ideal for water aerobics, aquatic therapy, and for lap swimming. It is not designed for competition swimming and it does not provide “compression” for speed or to make you look thinner. It stays in place in the water and allows you to move freely. It is popular both among women who swim and those who do water exercise. Lap swimmers especially appreciate the independence of the shoulder straps. Some have said they feel like they have nothing on.

YES! Helping women participate in aquatic therapy is one of our most important goals. Women participating in physical therapy in the water are pleased to be able to put on our suit without assistance.

Please don’t use the spin dryer machine some pools provide. Not only are you likely to damage the fabric, the ties at the bra could get caught in the spinner.

Your Ease In2 suit does not need special washing. We suggest that you rinse it well in cold water every time you wear it. You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with other similar colors. Use cold or cool water, a little mild detergent, and no bleach or Woolite®. Line dry.

High chlorine environments like some jacuzzies or hot tubs may cause the color to fade more quickly due to the interaction of the harsh chemicals and high temperature.
